The Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour, the largest of the regional billiard tours in the U.S., with over $90,000 in added prize money each year, announced that they have made the following changes to the acceptance all Senior Players age 65 and older in their open 9-ball tournament events. The changes will take effect immediately. To encourage participation in our sport by Senior Players age 65 and older, the Viking Cue 9-Ball Tour will now be offering them free tour card fees (a $30 savings) to all of our $1,000 or $2,000 added open 9-ball tournament events.
As of March 1, 2007, Senior Players age 65 and older will no longer be required to purchase a tour card. Tour cards will be optional for those players but will still be required if they wish to compete in our larger events or if they wish to compete in our amateur events.
This means that there will be absolutely no tour card fees for Senior Players age 65 and older while competing in our local $1,000- or $2,000-added Viking Cue Open 9-Ball Tour events.
Senior Players age 65 and older need only to show their IDs to receive the free tour cards when signing up to compete in Viking Tour events.
